MUSKY FISHING IN LILY PADS?! - Northern Wisconsin Topwater Frogging for Muskies

After missing a musky earlier in the day on an 8" Chaos Tackle Kodiak Navin dive and rise bait, I wasn't seeing that many fish, so I figured that perhaps they were tucked up in the lily pads due to the high skies and sunny conditions. I was able to make contact with 4 different fish by using a technique most musky guys may not consider, and that is using a topwater bass frog to get into the thick stuff and pull the muskies out!

Bro. I’ve got the lure for you!!!!!....Jst came back from my first ever trip to Wisconsin and I can’t stop talking about the lure. The reason is I come from a tournament bass background so I’ve fished acres n acres of lillypad and heavy grass. (You’re either flipping of throwing a frog....no other option). So when I was invited to a Dadson event I found out that the lodge we where going to was on Wilson Lake In Phillips. Very shallow and HEAVY Vegatation. We don’t have that in PA Musky river so I had no clue. Saw the boilermaker spinnerbait and grabbed one. Felt like a gimmick but why not. Bro I fished it NONSTOP for 4 straight days. Hands down the best slop bait design I’ve ever used. Especially for pads. Whole trip i bombed that thing into the heaviest pads I could find and maybe got fouled 3 times. Amazing. When it hits a pad it flips sideways and the second there’s is available water it starts to churn again. I’ve thrown a lot of diff baits over the years and I can’t remember any one design I’ve been more impressed with

@nunya6874 3 жыл бұрын

Angling Anarchy I’m not exaggerating one bit. I’ve told anyone who will listen since I got back lol. Jst have to experiment a lil on your rod tip height during the retrieve. That and really engage the second it hits the water/pads. (I’m sure you don’t need lessons lmfao😆)

I have the yips on my home water, the Fox Chain. I haven't boated a fish in a long time. I went up to the Park Falls, Wi area 2 weeks ago and I got 5 in the boat over 2.5 days of fishing, including a solid 45.5" fish. I come back home and I can't get one besides a short last week. I'm going to give it a go for a couple hours after work tonight. #MuskiesSuck

@ericsfishingadventures4433 3 жыл бұрын

I know chas had always said with a fish following a top water bait like that a quick pause or twitch can turn the fish off a lot of times, he mentioned keeping it slow and steady. Now I know that doesn't apply to every fish but I have been guilty of doing a lot of that because I get too excited and do something dumb. It's a lifelong learning curve. That dark water didn't help you either!

#1 rule w/Pike and Muskie, don't stop the lure and figure 8 at the boat. I never believed the figure 8 until I used it. 99% Muskie caught on figure 8 and fast retrieval. Pike fast/m-slow retrieval. Don't use Bass methods for pike and muskie.

@AnglingAnarchy 3 жыл бұрын

Question when you see the fish it looks like you speed up some y not try to slow it down some or some slight pauses?

@AnglingAnarchy 3 жыл бұрын

Grizzly-Outdoors Speed is usually a better trigger to get muskies to hit, which is why I probably fall back on that more than anything. It may be hard to see in the video, but I do an occasional hesitation with the bait. It's so subtle that its almost imperceptible. I also try to move the rod tip back and forth once I see a fish following the bait. This does 2 things, it gives the bait a slight directional change and it speeds up then slows down the bait as it goes from side to side.
